‘Solar Power’: How Lorde Grew Up, Embraced Guitars and Made a Summer Song | Diary of a Song 

This is so Dumb jesus christ

She really is, like a prettier Jesus.

@@onlinepersona123 Why?

@@this_too_shaII_passhow easy for someone who's rich and white to feel happy and parade it. Give us something actually interesting

@@this_too_shaII_pass sorry I forgot to mention that now she now works out. Very cool and interesting.

TOTALLY! Clairo's voice really suits the lower harmony.

I didn't know for sure until now, but i could have sworn i heard phoebe. Such a distinctive voice. They both really add something to the track!

Lorde is the blueprint Wbk

Billie Eilish is a copy of Lorde. More edgy copy

Sis... without Lorde, there would be no Billie Eilish.

@@dangerislander and without Lana there would be no lorde as we know it... it's like... time is real or something

@@dylanprince9435 hmmmmm... tbh both Lana and Lorde both blew up around the same time... they both triggered the Anti-EDM wave. Lana precipitated it, and Lorde pushed it into full swing!

100000%

@Minami Uchida actually you should be happy as well because it might help you to have understanding that how you will feel in the future ❤️

she’s a week younger than me and I TOTALLY feel the same way

im 24 too!!

24 and right there with ya!

Same lmaoooo

She's holds very high critical standards for her own work. They're so high, that for most of her audience, things she considers sub par are brilliant. She's a genius 😂

same omg, i really love the demos T.T

she probably don't feel the "alchemy thing" with those lines that's why she discarded it. "forget all of the tears that you've cried, it's over" is iconic tho + it effectively delivered the intent of the song.

@@pxterxno1942 yeah I remember her saying that if she doesn’t see color when making or hearing a song she will keep reworking it until she does

Agree

Yaaaas

yes 😭

Yeah much better than the final song

Agree, but it reminded me of her melodrama era where it was darker than the music she is producing now. Maybe she just wanted a newer ‘vibe’ to solar power i feel like that’s why they changed it.

Imagine thinking what the world needs is a weed album from a white girl produced by Jack Antonoff lmao

@@onlinepersona123 exactly.. How can they call this boring song (solar power) and the song that sounds a lot like jack's previous work (stoned at the nail salon) a ''Grew Up''??

@@onlinepersona123 I mean it’s their Art? They can create whatever they want? And I’d say everyone is open to cosume weed and write about their experiences with it? And if you’re not a fan, then don’t listen to it?

Smoking weed and making a weed album in 2021 is passé and if she thinks it's all that, it's not

@Yyoung Trees well, i'm 26, sooo. hmmm

Check out Loaded by Primal Scream if you like this track.

yeah i know next to nothing abt editing and it really stands out

"People who dislike the thing i like have never been happy". Brilliant argument, I'm seriously floored.

Guys this is clearly a hyperbolic statement coming from an affectionate Lorde fan. I know that it comes across as condescending but if it's boring to you then it's boring, everyone has their own subjective taste. Love and light ✌️☀️

@@wacky6lalala Fair enough. I'm a lorde fan too but Solar Power just doesn't do it for me.

@@nedisahonkey how do you like the album? I didn't think much of it at first but I gave it a few more listens and now it's really growing on me. I think you gotta be in a meditative mindset when listening to it to really appreciate it

@@wacky6lalala Pretty mediocre imo. Wouldn't say its bad though, just not my style. I've only listened to it once through so it could grow on me

Hello, how are you? I found your name and I follow the news of the United States of America by chance and I wanted to talk to you because I really like that culture and life there and maybe we can be friends and I await your response with all due respect

4:07 such a mood

Which interview was that? I love Green Light I would be super curious to see that!

@@EF-kk3vh I feel its from a podcast

@@EF-kk3vh HYG. :) But the interview is much more centered on her transition from being known on Royals. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wz0DpM9K4TE.html

Great track! Loved it when Primal Scream wrote it too. “Loaded” early 90’s.

@@preparemyglider1587 it seems like you're not a fan of lorde. she mentioned in an interview that she had never listened to Primal Scream and when she found out that the song was influenced by loaded she asked for the band's blessing and they even congratulated her! live and let die. Bobby Gillespie is less distressed than you haha

@@violetavictorio5638 big Lorde fan. I own Heroine on vinyl and have almost worn it out. I like how she progressed as an artist in Melodrama. This latest release looks to go in a new an exciting direction yet again. I appreciate that risk taking on her part. The same can be said for the band Primal Scream. They are chameleons that wander through straight up Rock and Roll, to Psychedelic electronica, to hardcore industrial. They created the Legendary album “Screamadelica” in the 90’s. give it a listen start to finish if you’re a fan of music in general. Ground breaking for it’s time. Loaded is a personal favourite. Now check out George Michael’s Freedom 90. Maybe she never heard that either?

only deep people who understand her and her songs 😎

@@preparemyglider1587 OMG I was just up in the comments here to see if anyone else thought this song was a rip-off of George Michael? I love her and this album but this song is so similar.

SAMEEEEE

This! Plus I also read on the Rolling Stones interview of Clairo that Jack actually talk to them and try to connect to each artists he would collab. I mean Clairo even cried at the first time they met. So, it is really understandable why they would go to Jack.

THANK YOU

i know who they are

Lol s club 7 was playing all the time on tv... in Canada aha

S club 7 was major in America …..

@@TheEMGRACE2 nice, I thought so!

Robbie Williams was on the Finding Nemo soundtrack
